How to take screenshot on Moto X without using any apps?

Ads:

You don’t need any apps to take screenshot in Moto X.

Like any other Android phones, you can take screenshot by simply pressing and holding both the Power and Volume down key for three seconds. You will hear the shutter sound once the screenshot is taken.

You can view, manager, edit and share the screenshot in the Gallery.

Connect your phone to the PC with a USB cable. You can find Moto G in your computer. You can then copy files from the PC to any folders inside the phone. You can also create a folder for your music files.

Disappointed in moto x as well I want to take a selfie and have To hold the phone with one hand and touch the screen with the other I hate this set up!!! Why can’t u just hit I side button as well to take a picture and the screen shot set up is awkward as well

This doesn’t work on the moto x designed by you. Just the regular ones. All the videos I see on YouTube are not design by you phones. Mine doesn’t work. I’ve tried millions of times to do it, and it still doesn’t work. And it’s not my timing or anything. It’s just not possible :\

You can slightly press power button earlier. Once you get used to it, it is actually very easy.

This is the default method to take screenshot on Android devices. A few vendors implemented other methods, for example, Samsung galaxy note can take screenshot with the stylus (s pen), or with palm motion, in addition to this method.

There are some screenshot apps. But most of them need root.

If you need take a lot of screenshot, for example, recording the screen, you can use some ADB tools on your pc to record phone screen.

I take every picture with only one hand!? why do you need two? u hold the phone and bring a finger out and touch the screen… pretty easy. Get snapchat and i think you may even be able to use a ‘side button’.

Make sure you guys are pressing the power button and VOLUME DOWN, not up. They must be pressed and held for at least a second at same time. Make sure you aren’t pressing the entire volume rocker and only pressing the lower half.

I find it easiest with one hand (easier to get them pressed at the same time).

Hold your phone in your right hand. Use your thumb to push the lower half of the volume button (same as if u were lowering the volume), at the same time, bring your left hand around the back of the phone, and push in the power button with your pointer finger. Keep holding both buttons in until u hear the click and see the screen shot. Don’t let go right away, it takes a couple seconds to register. That set up is what I found to be most non awkward. It definitely takes practice. But yes, there are apps in the play store that don’t require you to root your phone anymore. They are a little more invasive than the normal method though, you can’t take a screen shot on a whim, or you have a icon floating on your screen.

The screenshot is always saved on your phone. Photos is just another gallery app with auto backup to Google + (you can disfavor it in Google +). If you open gallery app, you should be able to find the screenshot as in photos.

Hope, I went through my menus, you can raise the volume if you go into settings, go to sound and then volumes. You can change your ringer/notification volume, the alarm volume and music/games volume. I don’t see anywhere where you can lock and unlock the side volume buttons so if yours aren’t working you might have a defective device.

I’m not sure why no one understands Hope’s issue. She CAN’T press volume up, as her previous statement suggests, she has somehow “locked” her volume buttons and can’t use them. Hope, I went through my menus, you can raise the volume if you go into settings, go to sound and then volumes. You can change your ringer/notification volume, the alarm volume and music/games volume. I don’t see anywhere where you can lock and unlock the side volume buttons so if yours aren’t working you might have a defective device. Hope this helps at least get the volume back up for you in the meantime.

I have tried so so so many time but it doesnt work at all. I believe I used the right method. The volume just keeps going down or the the phone keeps turning off. Im afraid that my phone has some problems with it?
